Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Dear Friends, Some of the Tamil Siddhars have been ardent worshippers of Vaaraahi. There was one Siddhar called Muthu Vadugar who was an upasaka of Bala and Vaaraahi. His grandson has written a ballad called Muthu Vadugu Naadhar Ammanai. He graphically describes one of the mid-night rituals that Muthu Vadugar used to perform in a puja. This puja was done in the month of Aadi, which is the month wherein the Aashaada Navarathri is celebrated. Aashaada Navarathri is dedicated to Vaaraahi. Incidentally, the Siddhar attained his samaadhi in the month of Aadi. This is also described in detail in that book. The Siddhar used ro recite a composition called Vaaraahi Maalai. This was a little known composition that was first published in late 19th century. It was republished twice. The second publication by the Durgai Siddhar.
